Gum Grafting

Rebuild your gumline, protect your teeth, and restore a healthy, natural-looking smile with gentle, expert care.

What is gum grafting?

Gum grafting is a procedure used to restore lost or receding gum tissue, often caused by gum disease or aggressive brushing. When the gums pull away from the teeth, roots become exposed—leading to sensitivity, higher risk of decay, and changes in your smile’s appearance.

Grafting replaces or repositions tissue to protect the tooth roots and create a more balanced, natural gumline.

I couldn’t ask for better experience! The ladies at the front desk immediately make you feel welcome. Dr. Guy was very friendly and explained the entire procedure to me in detail and answered all of my questions.
